Private was a military rank, the equivalent of which is used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional infantry grade, private is the lowest enlisted rank in a fighting organization, below a corporal and above a recruit. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank is approximately equivalent to the naval able-crewman rank.

This grade has been suggested to exist in some form in other rank arrangements, such as the Bajoran Militia.(citation needed • edit)

Some rank systems use different grades of private, such as the junior "private recruit",(citation needed • edit) and the more senior "private first class." (TOS: "Patterns of Force")

The United Earth MACO forces used this rank in the 2150s. The insignia patch was a triangular blue field, bordered in gold, with one white chevron under a white star. (Star Trek: Enterprise)

During the Q Civil War, which represented the Continuum by an illusion of the American Civil War, one of the Q guarding the tent where Q and Kathryn Janeway were held was referred to as a private by an incoming captain. (VOY: "The Q and the Grey")
